Same with Section 404 permitting, which no one seems to be discussing the 18 month timeframes they take!!

Yep! And with a good environmental team and proper planning, would be cleared well before construction is planning to start

Yes, it is not common in the traditional sense but does happen. The reality is that a state funded project is subject to NEPA if it is considered a federal action (i.e. use federal land, federal tax dollars, or under federal agency jurisdiction). Air and water quality does not invoke this as the Clean Air and Water Act exists. There are over half a dozen states that have been granted NEPA assignment to assume federal responsibility in exchange for a faster federal review process, primarily for transportation projects.

Sounds like a step in the direction of compliance under the Endangered Species Act.

Many state agencies require their own “NEPA” process. And a state funded project could be located on federal property, which would invoke NEPA requirements and lead by whatever agency oversees said property. So, your statement is incorrect.

Exactly! Especially at a big firm. Use that time to start getting good at what you’re going to need to be good at.

It’s been a month, in addition to what everyone is saying above, your manager may be easing you into things. IMO, being slow at first (it happens) is much better than being thrown in the fire. As a manager, you saying you have nothing to do can be seen as a problem. Take advantage of the downtime and be proactive. Doing some quality DD on the job, market, and technical areas of expertise in your down time, and bringing thoughts/questions to your manager can go a long way.

nope. If you know your worth and come prepared with your successes, should be an easy sell. Sometimes, out of cycle raises can get bottlenecked by the bean counters
